I'd like the admin to be able to do that and not have to do it myself I thought I could configure that in the 'customize feature set' screen but it's either not there or I'm unable to find it

I don't have a problem changing something manually in a configuration file (I used to know perl when I was young) or in the database

I think the reasoning that a regular list owner can't change this information - only view it, is because it's shared between lists and when possible one list owner shouldn't be able to change information used for one list Obv the Dada Root can change whatever they want Rather, it's hoped the user themselves wants to change this info in their profile

I think to trick Dada Mail in allowing just any of the list owners to change this information would be to just give the list owner root login privileges The easiest way may be to just find these lines in the mail cgi file (I'm using 4 5 2 for this)

sub profile_fields {

my ($admin_list, $root_login) = check_list_security(-cgi_obj => $q, -Function => 'profile_fields');

$list  = $admin_list;

And just add:

$root_login = 1; 

After that line

That should allow you to do what you wanna do
